Sasanian Carving at Guyum

Another Sasanian carving exists 1.5 kilometers to the southwest of Guyum in the Qavamabad Gorge and is called Naqsh-e-Rostam. This is of Bahram the Second. The figure carved on the side of a hill measures 2.50 meters by 1.70, meters distant from a waterfall in a garden, and stands 8 meters above the ground. It faces the waterfall, and both hands are raised in front. A globular crown is on the King’s head, ‘the ribbon of which hangs down to his waist, and the full hair behind his head flows out over the shoulders.
On account of the bad quality of the stone of the hill, this carving is nearly obliterated. Like other Sasanian carvings in various parts of Fars it is known as Naqshi Rustam, and like the carvings at Téqi Bustan near Kermanshah, at Sarab Bahram between Kazerun and Fahlian at Barme Delak and other places, was situated near a spring of water, and in a pleasant position.
